Carl Paladino Confronts Reporter: I'll Take You Out, Buddy
I have a sneaking suspicion that Carl Paladino thinks that the Sopranos show was less a fictional depiction of the underbelly of organized crime as a guideline for how to comport oneself. In addition to exposing his racist and sexually deviant proclivities in emails, he apparently has an anger management problem and doesn't like to be confronted with his own questionable choices:
After (New York Post State Editor and radio personality Fred) Dicker asked Paladino what evidence he had to make accusations to Maghabe at Politico that Democratic gubernatorial frontrunner Andrew Cuomo had cheated on his ex -wife, Blain reports, Paladino turned the tables, assailing Dicker over the Post's coverage of the daughter he fathered a decade ago with a woman other than his wife.
"I want to know why you sent your goons after my daughter, Fred," Paladino demanded. "You send another goon to my daughter's house and I'll take you out, buddy!"
(Update: Paladino also raised the issue of Cuomo's former marriage in a Newsday report this morning, saying he wanted the media to "go after Cuomo and his paramours" but, again, offering no evidence of what he was talking about.)
Paladino's campaign manager, Michael Caputo, separated the two men and sent his candidate into the men's room to calm down. Then, Caputo accused Dicker of working for Cuomo and doing his dirty work, so to speak.
At one point, Blain says, Paladino cursed Dicker, saying, "F--- him!"
Asked again if he had evidence of Cuomo's alleged infidelity, Paladino replied, "Of course I do. You'll get it at the appropriate time."Read moreAfter Dicker asked Paladino what evidence he had to make accusations to Maghabe at Politico that Democratic gubernatorial frontrunner Andrew Cuomo had cheated on his ex -wife, Blain reports, Paladino turned the tables, assailing Dicker over the Post's coverage of the daughter he fathered a decade ago with a woman other than his wife.

Seriously, need any more proof of how unhinged Paladino is?
Just the way that guy looks is frightening to me and now to see the way he expresses himself makes it even worse. I can honestly say that I would be afraid to be alone with this man in a room, any room.
I don't know what the people who voted for him were thinking but they weren't thinking clearly. He appears to be insane or have some serious problems.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
As a person of Italian background myself (though not swarthy), I am somewhat sensitive to comments about how Italian-Americans look, which borders on racist. However, I agree that Paladino's goonish comments toward the reporter are NOT what the voters should be looking for in a candidate to represent them. He is a very bad example of what most Italian-Americans are. We have Scalia, this guy and Snooki for people to point out and laugh at. This is what the culture that produced Ovid, Dante, Verdi and Michelangelo has come to in this country.
The name Amato springs to mind.

I didn't notice any reference to an Italian background in the original comment. Why would Anais think POP was commenting on this jerk's ethnicity?
cable soap opera program caused the errant guilt by association. People of the goombah persuasion are sensitive like that, you dumb mick. :)

I'm German-English, and was married to a half-Italian guy. I look more Italian than he does....everybody is always asking me if I'm Italian or Greek. Looks can be deceiving.
That said, THIS GUY IS F*CKIN' CRAZY!!

Fred is a real in-your-face gumshoe type. Loved that...reminds me of Mayor Daily politics...
And these are the people that control the hard earned dollars of "the Average Joe/Johnny Lunchbucket, huh? Freakin' great, ain't it?

If New Yorkers elect this goon to be their Governor they deserve whatever they get.
Absolutely. However, outside of NYC the state of NY is extremely GOP.

That's a fact. The five boroughs should break off and form its own State
This is one race for governor in one state..the rest of the country gets to vote for republican't or democratic parties as well the "third" parties that siphon votes. Not that I'm against that but with the lack of leadership the Dems have offered in the past four years (four in Congress, two for the President), if the electorate is foolish enough to return republican'ts to power (more power than they seem to have now interestingly enough), then whether we like it or not, we'll get what we get and there won't be pshht to do about it although impeachment and holding feet to flame comes to mind. Broadcast daily the deficit figures and unemployment figures and poverty levels, etc. would help, doncha' think?

This, my progressive friends, is type of scum the teabaggin' GOPer's want in power. Again, as I have ranted and ranted about on these articles daily, it seems, is the beginning of the decline of western civilization as we know it or would like it to be. These nutzoids are certifiably insane with greed, immorality, and civil decorum (ad infinitum). Truly unamerican and anti-social justice and I'm just scratchin' the top. It's a sad commentary on how we run our political system these days and I'm sure the more progressive countries on this earth are rolling their eyes. If you're certifiably crazy, vapid of any common sense or decency, irresponsible with a questionable background then your IN for a GOP presidential run.
in his bed.
I wonder if it'll be the head of the same horse that "Palomino" Paladino sent out via e-mail with an upside-down female 'jockey?'
I live in NY, and this guy is the worst candidate I've ever seen running for statewide office. And I'm 52 and have seen some beaut's running, believe me!
Greeeeat...Scalia wasn't bad enough, now Italian Americans have another high profile asshole reinforcing the italian gangster stereotype.

It's a stereotype? Damn, now I have to tell my NYC Italian friends to stop acting like a stereotype. :-P
Seriously, though, Italian-Americans really don't need this concept reinforced.

I'm glad there is a video of this conversation just in case anything should happen to the reporter.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
consolation when they bury him in concrete loafers???

The guy running for gov in Maine is a nut case too. LePage has been "threatening" reporters then saying they take it out of context...
What has the GOP unleashed? Oh, yeah, they are now saying that Santelli's rant started the TP movement. Wasn't there a clip here that showed the Santelli rant was staged and rehearsed?
Yeah thought I remembered correctly.
Santelli rant blowback. Hmmm, Koch Brothers in the background....
Last night on NBC News, Paladino said of those racist emails, "they were only sent to a few friends" and meant to be private.

Paladino wants to make Cuomo's personal life an issue while preserving his own privacy. Not right. On the other hand there is a ten year old child who probably doesn't need the media attention or exposure. Hopefully Paladino will be wise enough to back off and this dog can be left to go back to sleep.

Reminds me how the Republicans think "24" is a documentary.
Are my computer / eyes deceiving me or does that quote in the article repeat itself?
Does anyone know why this video was pulled from youtube?
the Google Gods became nervous.
considering the Soprano's was Americas favorite TV series for so long.
The last series with an Italian character in the lead that was America's faorite was Laverne and Shirley.
And the girl what played her wasn't even paisan. Whatta ya gonna do?

Did I read that right? Paladino is accusing Cuomo of having an affair when he was married to someone else but Paladino has a daughter with a woman not his wife? That is the pot calling the kettle black. Why are most of these repugs nuts and they really should not be elected to political offices.
Paladino, get it? And he's in construction, too.....bet he knows where Jimmy Hoffa is buried....

anyone have a new link to the video? That one was removed.
